Le Petit Prince / The Little Prince is one of the most-translated books on earth. This fact combines some interesting things: that the simple french book is proven so inspiring, that we can observe its wisdom mapped out in so many cultures, and that we can appreciate the cultural richness of the inhabitants of the last planet: the earth. I can only register here the translation books I can keep in my small white bookshelf.
